Last week we threw a party with one of our favorite local partners - Crossroads. Champagne, great music, and a vast selection of second hand and vintage clothing for us to sift through, as clothes lovers, we could not have asked for a more ideal evening.
Shopping parties are, by nature, difficult to dress for, as they require outfits as fashionable as they are functional.Thus, in preparation for the shopping party, the Chictopia Team decided to take on a styling challenge. Each team member was assigned a classic style similar to their own–glam, rocker, hipster, and boho–to fully embody for the event. Here is how the showdown went.
Helen
Style: Glam
Blogger Influence: thefashionfraction
What She Wore: Helen’s Calvin Klein coat, TopShop hat, leather skirt and Dolce Vita boots exuded old glamour with an edgy twist all her own. She carried around the best accessory of the night by far: adorable baby Evan.
Get Her Look: Check out TelltaleHearts' Vintage Faux Fur Shag Coat and Awwdore’s Asymmetrical Zip PU Leather Skirt, both in the Chictopia Shop.
Catlyn
Style: Rocker
Blogger Influences: lehappy & vuthien
What She Wore: Catlyn’s bad-ass, rocker outfit would make Taylor Momsen proud: high-waisted denim cutoffs paired with black tights, platform booties, and a rad baseball tee.
Get Her Look: Unleash your inner rocker chick with Chicwish’s studded and shredded denim cutoffs and 6Foot7Shoe’s Jeffrey Campbell Night Litas.
Libby
Style: Hipster
Blogger Influences: Phashionable & FashionZen
What She Wore: Libby channelled style icon Alexa Chung for this challenge: pairing a graphic t-shirt with a Zara tropical print dress and leather jacket.
Get Her Look: Make any outfit your own with a unique graphic t-shirt. Numbera’s Thrashed Dead Head Boyfriend Tee is edgy, whimsical, and vintage; a perfect addition to any look.
Kori
Style: Boho
Blogger Influences: dollpoupee & rainbowsandfairydust
What She Wore: A high-low floral skirt, flatform sandals, oversized sweater, gold body chain, and other gold accessories completed Kori’s boho ensemble.
Get Her Look: Is your wardrobe in need of some fresh accessories? Try something new! Body chains and flatforms meld the unexpected with the trendy, available from sellers Thrifted and Modern and LabelShoes in the Chictopia Shop.
